Representative images obtained from patients with AMD and DME. The levels of HTRA1 and TGF- are elevated in the eyes of patients with more severe hyperpermeability. The HTRA1, TGF-, and VEGF concentrations in the eyes are given below the images. FA in AMD cases (A,B) was obtained by SPECTRALIS® HRA (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany), and in DME cases (C,D) by Optos® (Optos, Marlborough, MA, USA). OCT was obtained by SPECTRALIS for all disease types.
